Novia STRP Reinforced Vapour Control Layer 2m x 50m 100m2

Product Details

The Novia STRP (Super Tough Reinforced Polythene) is a high-spec, reinforced and laminated vapour control layer (VCL) membrane designed for use in insulated walls, floors and roofing. It is reinforced, making it tough and tear-resistant, and includes flame-resistant additives. The Novia STRP is particularly ideal for metal profile-clad industrial buildings. Install on the “warm” (interior) side of your structure and pair with external breather membranes for the “cold” side. Secure with Novia tapes for a secure finish. Supplied unfolded, in rolls Suitable for use in commercial cladding systems Translucent, reinforced and tear-resistant 2m wide CE Approved and CPR Compliant Complies with BS EN 13984 Improves insulation performance Thickness: 2500gsm Length: 50m Roll Width: 2m Coverage: 100m2 Moisture Vapour Permeability: 0.2g/m2*d Moisture Vapour Resistance: 1000 MNs/g Reaction to Fire E Class What is a VCL? Vapour Control Layers (VCLs) are designed to manage the passage of moisture through a building's exterior walls, foundations and rooves and limit condensation within the interstitial layer “between” rooves, walls and floors. Particularly in high-humidity areas like the UK, water-laden air can condense on these structures causing damage over the long term, and reducing the thermal performance of insulation. It is advised to seal your Vapour Control Layer with double-sided butyl tape, followed by a BOPP tape to improve airtightness and increase the efficacy of the Vapour Control Layer. How do I Apply a Vapour Control Layer? A vapour control layer should be applied on the interior side of any wall, roof or flooring, over timber studs before the internal lining. It should be 100% sealed to the structure with double-sided butyl tapes, pre-applied to all areas where a fixing is to be made, and finished with metallised BOPP tapes to ensure a complete vapour seal. It is best used in conjunction with a Breather Membrane applied to the exterior side of the structure.
